Mines 15% also, but only the sides. I would say you shoulda had them go over the 3rd brake light, and if you can pull it off get the windhshield done in like 50%, otherwise it looks real nice man.

My preference would have been to have them put the tint over the 3rd brakelight, but its a quite involved process to move it.

It takes all of 10 mins to remove the back seats and rear deck, i did it before i took it in so they didnt have to.

im not a fan of dark tint, but that looks pretty good. Well except for that rear window You can see where they stopped the tint on the top and they should have done over the third brakelight as mentioned before

^I don't think parchment was an option w/ silver. I've yet to see parchment interior w/ SSM exterior.

Looks good, man! I don't think the 3rd brakelight thing is that big of a deal since there isn't a spoiler on your car and it's functional. I didn't know you were rolling on TL-S wheels... How come?

Looks nice Mike. I need to get mine tinted too. Having untinted windows is really annoying, I see all the streaks and smudges everywhere and it drives me nuts.

I know a friend whos dad owns a car shop, so I've always gotten my cars done for $50, but this time I paid a $100 which still isn't bad.

Yeah you know having the new car and clear windows which I'm not used to, I did like, but then I thought well I love tint, it makes the car look really nice so I got it done.

its actually not a hard process at all, very easy. The guy who tinted my back windows showed me what he used, it was this thin plastic insert that he uses to put the tint behind the brake light. it involves no removal of the back seat. Most good places have no problem getting behind that

I hate it when everyone says that you must remove the deck to tint that area. My tint guy just slide the tint right down there and it still looks perfect two years later

Damn, I guess my tint guy was lazy, I've known him a long time too. I figured he would have known about that. But it's fine.

Yeah, my tint guy said it be more work to cut out around the brake light. He just left the brake lite in and used a tool to put it behind the 3rd brake light. Did you get it done at bellevue auto tint? how much that run you?
